Chlorinated Cu catalysts for boosting electrocatalytic CO2 to highly reduced products

In the latest issue of Cell Reports Physical Science, Pérez-Ramírez and co-workers report the synthesis of chlorinated Cu2O via a gas-phase strategy that achieves superior performance in CO2 electroreduction. It’s a referential synthesis method to control the chlorination degree of copper electrocatalysts for promoting the formation of highly reduced products.
